## Abstract Interleukinβ1 beta (ILβ1Ξ²) is one of the main cytokines involved in the inflammatory response; it has multiple effects that can contribute to cell damage, one of which is the upregulation of the inducible form of nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS2) in certain cell types. We demonstrated p

## Abstract Microglial activation is believed to play a pivotal role in the selective neuronal injury associated with several neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease. We provide evidence that (β)βepigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a major monomer of gre
Previous work from this laboratory indicates a role for the complement component C5 in neuroprotection against excitotoxicity. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that the C5-derived anaphylatoxin C5a protects against kainic acid (KA)-induced neurodegeneration and investigated the mechani
